Among the most popular Taylor models and one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars on the market, the 314e offers a quintessentially Taylor experience with all-solid tonewoods and an accommodating feel. This Grand Auditorium boasts back and sides of solid sapele paired with a Sitka spruce top, producing a punchy, shimmering midrange, along with a warm, woody low-end character to balance the vibrant treble range. The V-Class bracing scheme adds a boost to power and sustain, and the always-comfortable Taylor neck makes for a smooth feel for any playing style. With straightforward appointments to preserve its workhorse personality, ES2 electronics and a hardshell case, the 314e is the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.
